Artist's Comments

Damn this has been hanging around my head for too long. Finally got around to sketching it out.

I've seen many artists depict a different character for each sin or virtue, but really, most people have a bit of everything, more or less.

And as much fun as it is drawing Xei a ga-zillion times, only 1 in 10 pictures of him turn out decent to me. So its actually quite tiring and very frustrating to draw him.

For the new-lookers: Xeigle isn't really a guy or a girl even if I'm used to using the male pronoun, you make what you like.

For his fans: see if you can rank his top sin and virtue.

Xei belongs to himself, and me.

Xeigle definatly is mostly greedy and diligent (although in no way badly) purely because his greed for screen time and his diligence of bugging you to get it!

I love the fact you've shown us Xei doing soo many bad things, the fangirl in me had to squeal at the lust picture though!

The virtues are VERY hard to illustrate because they're more abstract. It's easier to draw sin, in my opinion.

True, true. Xei is still learning to be good. It's easier to be bad though. :XD:

You have no idea how many times I redid that frame. Apparently I fail at mad kissing scenes. I could have had him by himself, but he's not that narcissistic and it just worked better this way. LOL

This is really cool. It must have been difficult to think of ways to draw him for each. Excellent job :]

Wow, that is interesting.

I didn't know there was a polar set of virtues for the seven sins.

Learn something new every day!

Yeah. It was difficult for the virtues especially. He kept changing his poses with new ideas.

Yes!

But damn the virtues' names are long! It takes 4 characters to spell 'e-n-v-y' but 8 for 'k-i-n-d-n-e-s-s'!! AUGH. So hard to fit them all.

Ouch, hehe. I guess virtues are a more complex concept then... As the sins sound a little more like human nature sometimes.
